It’s that time of year again when the strawberries become plentiful and affordable. When the weather warms up the first dessert I can’t wait to make is Strawberry shortcake but after a while I get burned out on strawberry shortcake. This recipe is a great alternative for using all those big fat juicy strawberries and works for dessert, snacks and even a quick breakfast.
